I had a chance to visit the Alter Ego clinic with Natalia Khomik. A very attentive person. Each visit solved a certain issue that seemed unimportant, that is, I didn’t think that we needed to move in that particular direction, but from the result it became clear that we were on the right track. It took me about 5 visits to significantly improve my life, get rid of…
Many thanks to Olena for helping us resolve family conflicts and misunderstandings. My husband and I learned a lot about each other, talked about situations from the past and everyday life with Olena, and understood how to change ourselves and our attitude towards our partner. We were lucky to have such a specialist as Olena, she was like a friend, like a doctor, and like a great motivator for us….
Olena skillfully combines the skills of a psychotherapist and rich personal experience. In her specialty, positive psychotherapy, she is a true master, she owns the method, she has undergone thorough training. She has a talent for finding metaphors, stories that very aptly explain the situation you are experiencing. She has deep knowledge in philosophy, she is perfectly oriented in the issues of finding meanings. I highly recommend her as a specialist!
I am very grateful to Alexandra for her help. This is my second return to therapy, the first time I went for a year. The second time, after three years, the problems were of a different nature and this time everything went much faster, in seven sessions I felt that the requests I came with were worked out and I can handle it on my own. I really appreciate the depth of understanding of the situation, the great…
I am extremely satisfied with working with Veronica! My life has changed a lot since then! Now I understand myself and what I want much better! Veronica helped me start appreciating myself. Thank you very much!
Not so long ago, my life and perception of reality were turned upside down, I was taught to live differently. I won't say that it's easy to change attitudes and the opinion about myself that has been formed over the years, but I thank you, Veronika!!!! Before meeting you, I never thought that it was possible to live without scandals with…
Our goal is to understand your problem and solve it.
Answers to frequently asked questions
First of all, remember that during the first consultation, the psychotherapist will help you clarify your request by asking questions. However, a correctly formulated question to yourself (as a request for therapy) is all part of working on yourself.
Therefore, we recommend that you pay attention to the following recommendations.
- Why did you seek help now? Have you had previous therapy experience?
- Tell us about the problem, highlight the most important things.
- Describe what you are feeling, on the level of emotions, body, thoughts. For example: “I sleep badly, I have become irritable, I often break down over little things, etc.”, “I think about bad things all the time,” “When I am stressed, I often eat and then feel ashamed.”
- Tell the background of the problem, but keep the focus on yourself without clarifying the behavior and thoughts of others.
- If your request concerns work and career, tell us what you are not happy with right now.
- Try to formulate what exactly you expect. For example: "I want to understand whether it is possible to save the relationship and restore an atmosphere of trust and harmony."
If you don't have a clear definition of what you need from therapy, it doesn't make you an ideal or desirable client. If you've thought about taking care of your mental state, this is a big step forward and a reason to sign up for a psychotherapist. Share with the specialist what is bothering you, and the psychotherapist will help you formulate a request.
Typically, at the first meeting, the client shares with the therapist what is bothering them the most. Often, these are superficial problems that are just the tip of the iceberg. The therapist will help to look deeper into the trigger situation or reaction that has long become a habit, formulate a specific reason for the visit, and plan the course of therapy.
And remember, it's normal to feel like you need a different therapist and want to change therapists. Online psychotherapy is a great way to find your therapist, as you can try therapy with many therapists from the comfort of your own home.

The work begins with an initial interview, where the main objectives of the therapy are determined within the framework of the request and all framework conditions are agreed upon.
During the first meeting, the psychologist asks questions and the client answers. An important point is that the client himself can ask the psychologist all the questions that are important to him, if necessary: about education, understanding of the problem itself, work experience or any others. And this applies not only to the first consultation, but also to further work.

The number of sessions needed to resolve a particular problem during psychotherapy is a question that is often asked, but the answer to it can be complex.
It depends on several factors that vary in each specific situation👇🏼
Difficulty of the problem: Psychotherapy can involve a variety of problems, from mild to complex. The degree of difficulty can affect the number of sessions needed to achieve results.
Individual characteristics: Each person is unique, and therefore the number of sessions may vary depending on individual characteristics, including personality characteristics, level of motivation, and readiness for change.
Resources and support: The availability of resources, such as finances and time, as well as the level of support from loved ones, can affect the availability to see a therapist and the ability to complete homework assignments.
As you can see, the answer to the question of the number of sessions in psychotherapy is individual for each person and is usually discussed by the psychotherapist based on the client's unique needs and circumstances.
It is important to remember that psychotherapy is a process, not an instant solution to a problem, and requires time, effort, and cooperation to achieve positive results that will definitely be
Yes, of course it is possible.
Therapy as a process should lead to qualitative changes in various areas of life.
